Hello , i'm very interested in purchasing a scubapro tri-laminate drysuit , however i have an aqualung i3 dimension bcd that is almost new. I am wondering if the suit and bcd are compatible . Any and all replies would be appreciated thanks.
I wonder if periodic short term exposure to risk can decrease your longterm risk of accidents. I hope it does..

There really won't be any "compatibility" issues. The only issue you might run into is the additional bulk you might have with the dry suit might require a larger BCD. Any other issues will be related to weighting and trim. But you would encounter that in any configuration.
You will be able to try it out during drysuit class! as long as the BCD straps, expanded all the way, are not so tight that you cannot put the BCD over your drysuit, you will be ok. And the bcd should not obstruct you routing your drysuit hose (usually fixed with a longer hose)
If you are diving cold water below 10 celcius, remember to make sure your regulator is cold-water-approved.

The OP lives in the SoCal area. Our water temps typically range from low 50s (°F) to mid 60s (°F), depending on the time of year. As such, "cold water-approved" regs aren't necessary. I have lots of friends diving in local waters (San Diego) who have non-sealed first stages.
I love your scuba keen-ness but the hell my lowest temp is 21 degree c and I wear 7mm wetty, I cannot imagine your world, you people int he frost zone are amazingly hard creatures!
